Major donors consider funding Black Lives Matter
Politico ^ | 11/13/15 | Kenneth P. Vogel and Sarah Wheaton

Some of the biggest donors on the left plan to meet behind closed doors next week in Washington with leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement and their allies to discuss funding the burgeoning protest movement, POLITICO has learned.

And the club and some of its members also are considering ways to funnel support directly to scrappier local groups that have utilized confrontational tactics to inject their grievances into the political debate.

I think the next president should review their IRS status.it’s OK, because we now know it is not a crime to revoke their IRS status as a charity

This would be a good time for the helicopter in Godfather III to show up.

It seems that the richest men want to crash society and burn it.

Very odd.

I now wonder if it is responsible to let a man own unlimited amounts of money. The power corrupts.

It’s part of Hillary/Obama terms 3 & 4 plan. Fund BLM & $15/hr to stir up the Black and lower class vote for 2016. A Democrat win will continue the destruction of our once-great USA.

It’s a “Christmas Tree” on which they’ll hang everything on the Progessive wish list.

The crowd at Missouri has already added “free tuition” for example.

Yeah, I hear ya. But dude. What are we gonna do about THIS?

90% of the big money men eventually go communist or superliberal, and ONE HUNDRED PERCENT go globalist oppressive.

So. What now?

Maybe the billionaire wants a credible front of "little people"? That is to say mere millionaires.

Caesar derives his power not from consent, but from obedience.

The left understands this. Conservatives notsomuch.

Winners make their lives matter. Losers demand that others say that their lives matter.

Hey Laz I hear you.

WTF happens to these billionaires?

Do they have overwhelming "guilt" about being wealthy?

Do they just want to be "liked"?

It's a mystery to me as well.

At least Jobs was pretty non-political. He was a liberal, but not an obnoxious, anti-American, anti-capitalist freak like Gates or some truly evil man, like Soros.
